After a grueling 15 hours of flight Oliver and Lili finally arrived at Itami international airport , Osaka at 6:00 am

'"haa... finally" Oliver sighed, getting off the plane. he was. honestly quite tired by the long flight

When they arrived at the arrival Terminal they were able to find the person who had come to pick them up.

" Welcome to Osaka, Oliver-Sama, Elizabeth-Sama "Oliver and Lili was greeted by a middle-aged professional-looking Japanese woman with a slight bow

"oh thanks, Fujiwara san, how have you been" Oliver replied.

Ai Fujiwara was the branch manager of Oliver's company branch in Japan so they were quite familiar with each other.

"It's been quite good recently thank you for asking."Ai Fujiwara replied "you two seem quite tired by the flight let's head to the hotel first. This way please"

After 15 minutes drive in the car Oliver finally reached the hotel they were staying and as soon as he arrived he quickly took a shower and crashed down in his bed.

***

Oliver slept like a log and by the time he woke up his sister had already left the hotel to attend a business meeting for which they came to Japan.

Oliver now alone had nothing to do so he decided to tour the city of Osaka a little, so Oliver decided to make a call.

"Hello Oliver-same, how might I help you"

"Hello Fujiwara-san can you send someone to pick me up I want to tour the city a little "

"No problem, I'll send someone right away. Anything else Oliver-Sama" Fujiwara asked him politely from the other side of the phone.

"No that's all "

After a while a person came to pick Oliver up, Oliver then went to visit the Osaka castle.

Osaka castle was built by a famed Japanese warrior and politician Toyotomi Hideyoshi. In its time, it was the largest castle in Japan.

Oliver was quite impressed by the castle.

After Osaka castle, Oliver went to visit the Osaka aquarium. The aquarium was filled with different Japanese marine life creatures while Oliver was touring the aquarium, he felt someone peeking at him. Oliver turned to see who it might be to see' a girl?'. The girl staring at him was wearing a cap and a mask which honestly seemed quite suspicious. when the girl noticed he had noticed her staring at him she quickly averted her eyes, panic quite evident in her eyes.

He moved towards the girl and politely asked

"miss do you have something you want to ask me "

Lee Ji-Eun was a well-known singer and actor from Korea. She was currently 22 years of age and relatively quite popular in east Asia.

Due to her popularity, she was quite busy with concerts here and there. Just Today she arrived in Osaka, Japan for her upcoming concert but since the concert was still a week from now she had nothing to do so she was cooped in her hotel room. she soon got bored being cooped up in her room. when she asked her manager permission to go out, her manager decisively decided against her idea. The only thing she could do was reluctantly go back to her room.

After some time She finally couldn't stand being cooped in her room so she decided to sneak behind the back of her manager. She put on a mask to cover up her face, put on a cap, and went outside.

After she came out of the hotel. Ji-Eun decided to visit the Osaka aquarium. while touring around the aquarium, she caught sight of a handsome British-looking man looking around the fishes of the aquarium which a curious gaze similar to that of a child.

Ji-Eun after some time realized that she was unknowingly staring at the stranger and was just going to avert her eyes when the stranger caught her staring at him.

Ji-Eun quickly averted her eyes and began to panic 'will he see me as a creepy person '.while she was panicking the stranger came in front of her.

"miss do you have something you want to ask me"

"Huh .. what do you mean?"Ji-Eun asked, panicked.

"Ah I thought you wanted something to say to me since I noticed earlier you were looking in my direction "the British man replied

"Ah!... I'm sorry. I know it might be quite rude of me to stare at someone, but I did it unknowingly. please do forgive me for my rudeness "she said bowing in ninety degrees.

"No, no it's quite alright you don't have to apologize "he quickly tried to calm her "Anyways hello, my name is Oliver Bryan, from England"

"Hello, I'm Lee Ji. eun from Korea " Ji Eun replied with a slight bow.

" wanna grab a cup of tea? I'm kinda thirsty and need something to soak my throat. we can have a small talk too if you want."

"Ah, well "

Ji-Eun hesitated.

"it's fine if you don't wanna. maybe another time, if we get to meet each other that is" Oliver said Seeing her hesitation.

"No no tea sounds good I wanted to have some tea " Ji-Eun replied. she was the one caught staring at him so having tea could be considered an apology right? she thought.

Minutes later the both of them were seated opposite each other in a tea house. when Ji-Eun removed her mask Oliver was quite stunned seeing how beautiful she was.

seeing Oliver like that Ji-Eun asked "what?"

"oh no, I was just momentarily stunned by how beautiful you are"Oliver replied sounding quite embarrassed.

Hearing Oliver's reply Ji-eun blushed a little.

After that, both of them ordered their tea.

"so miss Lee, if you don't mind, are you on a tourist visit to Osaka or something work-related."

"work-related, how about you"Ji-Eun replied

"well me too, though in my case my sister is doing all the work, "Oliver said with a chuckle.

seeing his chuckle

"you must be quite a bad brother then, "Ji-Eun said with a chuckle herself.

After that, they talked about some normal stuff here and there.

"Are you interested in football ms Lee "Oliver enquired

"I do watch it sometimes "Ji-Eun replied

"Well there seems to be a game happening at 3:45 pm in Yanmar stadium would you like to go and watch with me "

"ok " Ji-Eun replied .while talking to Oliver she found out Oliver to be a quite nice and polite person, so she didn't see why should she deny his request.

After it was decided they both would go to watch a football match they both caught a local can and arrived at the stadium after about 40 minutes of cab drivers.

Today the football match was between the home team Cerezo Osaka and Nagoya football club. The game was very competitive but Nagoya FC came on top of the game with a narrow 2:1 victory over the home team.

"So what do you think of the game, "Oliver asked

"well, it was quite good, especially the player name Shinji Kagawa of the Osaka team. Too bad his team lost the game "Ji-Eun replied.

"well I am of the same thought as you .lets go meet him then, "Oliver said walking forward.

"Huh, wait what do you mean by meeting him "Ji-Eun asked confused, following Oliver

After Oliver made some calls soon someone came toward him.

"Hello Mr. Bryan I'm the Levir culpa, the manager of Cerezo Osaka." said the man "and miss?"

"Oh, hello I'm Lee Ji-Eun" Ji-Eun quickly introduced herself.

"I heard you wanted to meet one of my players Mr. Bryan, please this way, "Levir said

"oh thank you," Oliver said"Also sorry for the trouble.

"oh no no Mr. Bryan there's no problem at all".

After a while, Levir went and brought Shinji Kagawa with him.

"Hello Kagawa-san I'm Oliver Bryan, chairman, and owner of Leeds United football club in England," Oliver said

hearing him introduce himself Shinji also quickly introduced himself "Hello I'm Shinji Kagawa"

Shinji had heard of Leeds before. It was the team where players like Mark Viduka, Eric Cantona, and the youth sensation James Milner had played. shinji had already Faced Milner while representing Japan's age group.

"Kagawa-san you have an amazing talent for football, I believe if you continue your progress as such you will definitely be an excellent player, "Oliver said "Currently my team is in league one the third tear of English football. If by chance you decide to play in Europe and if we are in the first division of English football by that time please do call me. Here this is my card" Oliver said giving him his card.

Sinji Kagawa politely did a bow and received the card.

After Oliver and ji-eun met shinji kagawa they both returned.

"wow, so you are the owner of a football club. That sounds cool" Ji-Eun said.

"Well currently we are just a third division club though," Oliver said.

"I had such a fun day thanks to you, Mr. Oliver. Here this is a ticket for my concert next week please do come"Ji-Eun said with a slight blush on her face

"Oh so you turned out to be a singer, well that explains why you were wearing that cap and mask, you must be quite famous then for you to be hiding from the public, "Oliver said coming into realization".where are you currently staying? let me drop you off, my ride is arriving soon "
